In defiance of the 1990s music industry's attempt to dictate the terms of rock and roll, AFFÄIRE emerged as a beacon of unyielding spirit. Rejecting the notion that rock should be self-pitying and somber, this Portuguese band set out to redefine the genre's essence.Their journey began in late 2011 with the release of the debut single "Born Too Late," a 7" vinyl limited to 300 hand-numbered copies. The momentum continued in 2013 with "Highway Affair," released solely in digital format.
In 2015, their inaugural full-length album, "At First Sight," was unleashed, marking a significant milestone. Two years later, the "Neon Gods" digipack-EP, featuring four new tracks and a distinctive rendition of The Beatles' "I Saw Her Standing There," was released.AFFÄIRE's live performances, both in Portugal and abroad, including shared stages with icons such as Paul Di Anno, House Of Lords, Chris Holmes, and Grim Reaper, preceded the release of their groundbreaking album "Less Ain't More" in April 2019. The album garnered acclaim and airplay globally, highlighted by the animated video for "Paradise Café" and the award-winning "Nasty But True."Critics and fans alike celebrated their sound, comparing it to the greats of the '80s rock era. With rave reviews from Melodic Hard Rock, Powerplay Magazine, The Rockpit, CGCM Podcast, and World of Metal, the band firmly established itself as torchbearers of the genre.The subsequent years saw AFFÄIRE gracing prominent stages at renowned festivals such as Hard 'n' Heavy Festival in Austria and Coq Rock Fest in Belgium in 2021 and 2022.As they stride into 2023, AFFÄIRE is poised to release their next magnum opus, "En Route," an album that promises to be a testament to their growth and dedication. Signing a worldwide record deal with Lion's Pride Music record label based in Denmark, the band is all set to unleash their latest creation to the world on October 28, 2024, in both CD and digital formats. AFFÄIRE continues to be a testament to the enduring spirit of rock n roll, breathing new life into the genre and cementing their place as pioneers of modern-day hard rock.
